University websites are among our most highly visible communications. In order to create a cohesive user experience across the university’s web domain, all academic and administrative units on campus should use and abide by the visual requirements of the current Torch WordPress theme.
University Website Resources is the one-stop source for everything you need to know about the university’s website. Please visit and bookmark websitesupport.utk.edu for support, training, Torch theme information, and community resources.
The university’s website should:
- Reflect and reinforce the core mission of the university.
- Follow the visual requirements for websites in addition to other brand standards.
- Meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
- Be mobile friendly.
- Have a dedicated Site Sponsor who is responsible for the university’s website content following the UT Knoxville Website Hosting and Content campus procedure.
The Hill WordPress theme
Please note that we are no longer making updates to The Hill WordPress theme or installing it on new websites.
If your website is still running The Hill theme, you may find information and resources at thehill.utk.edu. Otherwise, we look forward to hearing from you as you begin the process of moving your website into The Torch WDS theme!
